Chapter 205: A boy until death
"Why don't you just say something trivial? What you say must be based on evidence."
Chen Weidong frowned and said it as if he was very casual, and Li Huizi also suffered.
However, Li Xi'er added: "Isn't it? The island country is so open, and those girls start falling in love at a very young age. By the time they graduate from college, they have no idea how many boyfriends they have had."
"Then I heard others say that international students are still very chaotic abroad, why don't you say it." Chen Weidong was not happy anymore. How could he slander other people's innocence out of thin air?
"you!...."
Li Xi'er's face turned red with anger and she couldn't speak to him at all.
Seeing this, Mother Chen didn't understand her son's thoughts. He must have been obsessed with the girl from the island country. She immediately glared at him and said, "Xi'er is a good girl. Don't be angry with her all the time. Otherwise, I'll forgive you."
I can’t help you!”
"How dare I? She has such a great background..."
Chen Weidong was picking up the rice in the bowl numbly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wait until after lunch.
Chen Weidong wanted to go back to his room and take a nap, but was forcefully dragged out by Li Xier, saying that he wanted to experience the customs and customs here.
There are mountains and rivers everywhere, and there is no development yet. I really don’t know what there is to see.
He could only think that Li Xi'er was from the city and came to the countryside, and everything she saw was novel.
....
"Peng~Pah!"
"Be careful!" Chen Weidong pulled Li Xi'er behind him, and a firecracker exploded in front of his feet, with green smoke rising slowly.
"I'm really impressed by you. Isn't it good to sleep at home? You have to go shopping." Chen Weidong complained while watching out for firecrackers that might fly around.
Children could be seen setting off firecrackers all over the streets, and the rising smoke made him think he had traveled to Syria.
In the memory of his previous life, most cities had regulations prohibiting the setting off of fireworks.
If you are caught polluting the environment, you will be fined 5,000 yuan.
Every year, only on the night of the 30th of the Spring Festival, at 12 o'clock, the deafening sound of firecrackers will be heard outside the city.
Unlike in this era, who cares about the ban on setting off fireworks and firecrackers?
Everyone has been busy all year long, and it’s hard to find a moment to rest and take a break. If you don’t allow others to set off firecrackers, what are you asking everyone to do?
It has been almost 20 years since the economy opened up. From the rural household quota system, to the subsequent liberalization of self-employed households, the cancellation of food stamps, and the open supply of grain and oil, everyone no longer has to worry about non-staple food.
There is hope in life, and everyone hopes to have a happy Spring Festival so that life will be better in the coming year.
Setting off firecrackers is just a way for them to vent their emotions.
In this era, firecrackers did not have as many tricks as later generations. Children aged seven, eight, and more than ten years old each held an incense stick in their hands and a bunch of them in their pockets. They would take out one at any time, light it on the incense stick, and throw it at people.
If there is less, just throw it away.
Some timid people, especially girls, are often scared to death.
It caused a burst of laughter.
Occasionally, I see a few sky-piercing cannons and rockets ejecting sparks for a few seconds, which attracts many children to watch and look at the person setting off the fireworks with envy.
Human wisdom is infinite, and there is no conflict between poverty and happiness.
Poor people also have their own entertainment.
Some brave children lit the fuses of firecrackers and deliberately waited until they were about to burn out and explode before throwing them out in pursuit of that little bit of excitement.
However, in such a short period of time, it is difficult for children who set off firecrackers to decide where to throw them, and most of the time they can only throw them randomly.
Just now, a child threw a firecracker in this way and almost hit Li Xi'er, which shocked Chen Weidong.
"Don't they have anything else to play with? It's so dangerous to set off firecrackers on the street. Look at that child. The firecrackers exploded as soon as they were released. I'm really worried that they will be injured." Li Xi'er took Chen Weidong's hand and said nervously
.
"The Chinese New Year is not just like this. I used to look forward to the Chinese New Year every day. After the Chinese New Year, I could wear new clothes and receive red envelopes. I would be happy for most of the day every time. I would also go to relatives' houses for dinner and eat big fish and meat. For children,
For me, if you have food and fun, it’s paradise..."
After walking a little further, Chen Weidong breathed a sigh of relief. For ordinary people, the expectations for the New Year are only a trivial extravagance. This also made him truly feel how difficult life is in this era, and everyone's requirements
How low it is.
Our country is still very poor!
As a member of this era, once you have the ability, you have the obligation to change everything.
When he walked to a busy place, the streets became more and more crowded. Chen Weidong was afraid that Li Xi'er would be taken advantage of, so he could only naturally hold her in his arms.
"Don't be like this! Others are watching..." Li Xi'er blushed and pushed him away gently.
In this era, two young people holding hands in the street can already attract people's attention. What's more, Li Xi'er is dressed like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. If they hug each other again, it will only arouse public outrage.
Just like this, some people are pointing fingers and lamenting that the world is declining, and today's young people are too courageous and have no sense of shame.
Chen Weidong has nothing to do about this.
Although in his concept, love is a private matter between two people, it still poses a challenge to the ethos of the entire society, just like Don Quixote rushing towards the windmill.
He doesn't have the guts yet.
"What a bunch of old antiques with outdated ideas..." Chen Weidong muttered, and could only use these words to vent his dissatisfaction.
It is difficult for people to examine their own shortcomings, but for a moment, Chen Weidong felt that his personality was somewhat different from his previous life.
To be precise, it's more aggressive.
Even speaking and acting are more decisive. I don’t know if it’s because I have been assimilated to this era, or because I have seen everything through and face life with a more positive attitude.
But what can be confirmed is that the reason why he is like this now is because the concepts of this era are very different from those of the previous life. This makes him not used to it and also feels a little uneasy.
Therefore, he has been using a strong attitude to resist this discomfort.
"This is not Xiangjiang." Li Xi'er covered her mouth with one hand and giggled. It was obvious that he wanted to take advantage of himself and blamed others for their old-fashioned ideas.
If this were at home, she wouldn't mind letting Chen Weidong hug her, but this was on the street, and she couldn't stand that kind of gaze.
"One day, people will be able to express their emotions without any scruples, without caring about other people's feelings!" Chen Weidong used this sentence as his final footnote.
After hearing this, Li Xi'er looked at this man angrily and funny.
Although I am three years older than him, when I am usually with him, I always feel that he is older than me and much more mature than me in all aspects.
It was only now that she truly discovered that at this time, he was not as smart and capable as he usually showed.
It's simply childish.
Or in other words, is this the nature of men?
